Re: [Devmon] need help with initial devmon/hobbit setup - no matching template

[<joh...@ac...>]

Thank you for the response!

Well, the error has changed some - I guess that could be a step in the
right direction.

I now get an unknown model error:
root@161mon:/home/xymon/devmon# ./devmon -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv --debug

Why does it say that it saw 2 vendors but no models and no sysdescs?

Pwd: devmon/templates/microsoft-win2k3server
Cat specs:
vendor  : microsoft
model   : win2k3server
snmpver : 2
sysdesc : Windows 2000 Version 5.0

bb-hosts:
10.n.n.n   kratos      # DEVMON:model(microsoft;win2k3server)

Thanks,

John

Devmon treats the string after sysdesc as a regular expression, so you
have to 
be careful with any non-alphanumeric characters, but you also don't need
to 
match the whole string, just enough to be unique ...

Note that you can specify the template to use in the bb-hosts file.

I have been monitoring a few Windows 2003 servers with devmon, you may
want to 
look at the template I just committed in svn:

http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/templates/microsof
t-
win2k3server/

However, this template will (for now) only work if you set it explicitly
in 
bb-hosts with DEVMON:model(microsoft;win2k3server)

However, please make a copy of it, renamed to e.g.
microsoft-win2kserver, and 
change the sysdesc to be just:

sysdesc: Windows 2000 Version 5.0

and see if devmon will pick it up without manually setting it.
